  • I have no idea what anyone should be doing, but I’ll tell you what I personally am doing:

    • emailing my representatives over and over
    • emptied all cloud services and all personal big tech accounts (can’t do much about the work ones…)
    • getting acquainted with Linux, VPNs and Tor
    • learning to flash custom ROMs
    • testing said custom ROMs
    • digging into app permissions - even graphene comes with things enabled that I realized I want to turn off (like ad privacy, printer services and android services that enable nearby share which I personally don’t use)
    • use Obtainium and F-droid for apps
    • testing out p2p services to see which ones are useful
    • stashing Linux isos, so I hopefully always have at least one that either doesn’t have age verification or one where it’s easy enough to rip out
    • downloaded “linux from scratch”, but I’ll admit I haven’t read it yet


  • Not just influencers, but also politicians and news media. I have a master’s degree in statistics, and it’s not at all uncommon for politicians and media to misrepresent scientific results. Correlation does not equal causation. If a study hasn’t been peer reviewed, I wouldn’t say that it proves anything just yet. Studies on a non-representative sample aren’t generalizeable to the population as a whole. And so on…
